Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey (Batch 13), 47%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2008 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
Made from 100% malted barley (wash from the adjacent Flying Dog brewery) and aged for a minimum of two years. Surprisingly good for such a young whisky. Layers of sweetness (honey, caramel, toffee), with some nutty/nougat notes, bourbon-like charred oak, and background spice. Some youthful “burn” emerges toward the latter half of the palate -- a little careful aging would smooth out the finish and add depth. Still, a very nice effort.
